Prime Video has released a teaser trailer for ‘Gen V‘, the upcoming college-based spinoff series to ‘The Boys’ which premieres this September on the streaming service.
The official teaser gives audiences a peek into life at Godolkin University, America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International). From the world of ‘The Boys’ comes ‘Gen V’, which explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, and that their powers were injected into them, rather than God-given. These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.
The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair (‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’), Chance Perdomo (‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’), Lizze Broadway (‘Here and Now’), Shelley Conn (‘Bridgerton’), Maddie Phillips (‘Teenage Bounty Hunters’), London Thor (‘Shameless’), Derek Luh (‘Shining Vale’), Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger (‘The Staircase’, ‘The Terminal List’), Sean Patrick Thomas (‘For All Mankind’), Marco Pigossi (‘Invisible City’). Clancy Brown (‘Dexter: New Blood’, ‘Billions’), Alexander Calvert (‘Supernatural’) and Jason Ritter (‘Kevin (Probably) Saves the World’, ‘Raising Dion’). The series also features guest appearances from Jessie T. Usher (A-Train), Colby Minifie (Ashley Barrett) and P.J. Byrne (Adam Bourke) reprising their roles from ‘The Boys’.

Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Craig Rosenberg, Nelson Cragg, Zak Schwartz, Erica Rosbe, and Michaela Starr also serve as executive producers on the spinoff series. Serving as co-executive producers are Brant Englestein, Sarah Carbiener, Lisa Kussner, Gabriel Garcia, Aisha Porter-Christie, Judalina Neira, and Loreli Alanís.
